Description
The Plague by Albert Camus is a powerful novel about a deadly disease that spreads rapidly through a town, forcing its inhabitants into quarantine. As fear and isolation take hold, each person responds in their own way to the crisis.
First published in 1947, this iconic novel has become an allegory for suffering under occupation, as well as a timeless story of bravery and determination against the uncertainty of human existence. A new translation by Laura Marris brings Camus's work to a new generation of readers, restoring its restrained lyricism and liberating it from outdated language.
This updated edition promises to add relevance and urgency to a novel that has captivated readers for decades with its searing beauty and profound themes.
